thinking of painting my living room that color and decorating with

sunflowers...but have since changed my mind....Anyway..I am glad you got a

pretty color dress....that way you dont look like a 6foot daffodil! And you

Hey now! Why would I make any wise cracks???? I would never do that! Never

in a million years....

Also, I think you will do fine if you have your last fitting in May (right

before the wedding). An A line dress sounds nice...also pretty flattering

for

all shapes and sizes....just hope its not easter yellow or anything! LOL!

AND

IF IT IS....I AM SOO SORRY!!! lol!
